Un-stuffed Cabbage

Recipe from June Glasgow

June told us in an email that her husband doesn’t like cabbage but loved this recipe when she made and served it to him. A departure from many cabbage recipes of the past. Sounds good, let’s give it a whirl!

Ingredients

1 cup long grain white rice, uncooked
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
6 cups chopped green cabbage
1 lb ground beef
1 cup frozen onion (I used fresh chopped onion)
1 can (14.5 oz) Stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) Tomato Sauce
2 tsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1 – Place rice and broth in 3 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stir.
2 – Place cabbage on top; DO NOT STIR. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 15 minutes or until rice and cabbage is tender.
3 – Meanwhile, cook beef and onion in large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain.
4 – ADD undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, and pepper to meat.
5 – Break up tomatoes with spoon.
6 – Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer about 10 minutes.
7 – When rice mixture is done, add to skillet, toss together.

Note: In February we all received fresh cabbage in the Prairie Pak, discount food package from Prairieland Food.

It can actually make us better cooks to take an ingredient we might not normally buy at the local grocery and hunt for or make up our own recipes. Experimentation can really be the “spice” of life, eh?

Enjoy!

Eileen’s Fried Cabbage

Eileen B. – Derby KS

Ingredients:
1 Head Cabbage
5 slices bacon
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions:
• Fry the five pieces of bacon in a deep frying pan or dutch
	oven on top of the stove. You need a deep pan, with a lid.
• Core and chop the head of cabbage.
• Your bacon may be crispy by now - remove from pan
	and drain.
• Turn the heat down to simmer or just above.
• Put all the cabbage in the pot and toss to spread the
	bacon fat around a bit.
• Put the lid on for 10 minutes.
• About every 10 to 15 minutes Toss the cabbage again, but
	put the lid back on between tossing sessions.
• It takes about 45 minutes to cook cabbage to fork tender.
• Now break up the bacon over the top, put the lid back on
	and cook another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Your cabbage at this point will have cooked down about
	1/4 to 1/3 in volume.  This is OK.
• Some of your cabbage may be a little browned, this is OK too.

For all the steps above this is a very easy and simple way to
cook cabbage as a lovely side dish.  All the vitamins stay in
where as with boiling or steaming, they flush into the water.
